title: Post-translation modification of xanthine dehydrogenase in a natural population of Drosophila melanogaster.
abstract: Second chromosomes of D. melanogaster were isolated from a single natural population, and 40 were analyzed by gel-sieving electrophoresis for the presence of polymorphic loci on chromosome 2 that act to modify xanthine dehydrogenase and/or aldehyde oxidase, whose structural genes map to chromosome 3. Clear evidence of polymorphism for one or more xanthine dehydrogenase modifier loci was obtained.
